Ok so when I found the nest over run with the ants I took it outside (Man there was a lot of ants covering the nest box) and yesterday and last night it rained. Well tjis morning I decided to clean the whole thing up and once I opened the nest I noticed there were some fire ants still moving! My mood perked up and I thought "What If?" so I started digging out the nesting area (it had turned into red mud from the rain) and I found others that had survived! I found ants, brood, AND I FOUND MY QUEEN!!!!!!! She was barely moving and as in the video you'll see below she was showing life.
So I'm hoping that they may survive Q the song that came to mind
The Video I shot a bit ago
Keep your fingers crossed for me and my family of Solenopsis!!!!!!!
